Summary
TMD said a monsoon trough is stretching across the North and upper Northeast into a low pressure area over the upper South China Sea, while a moderate southwest monsoon continues to blanket the Andaman Sea, mainland Thailand and the Gulf of Thailand. The combination is bringing widespread rain, with the heaviest downpours expected in the eastern Northeast.
Residents in the Mekong basin, hillside areas near waterways, and low-lying zones have been urged to stay alert for flash flooding and runoff, particularly in spots with a history of repeated flooding. TMD advised against travelling through roads prone to waterlogging, warning that short-term flooding could occur even in areas without a flood history.
